I actually understand how calling the dude out at the table can be uncomfortable for some people. While certainly the most direct way to approach the situation, there are nuances between this sort of cheating and cheating at cards or competitive games. People sometimes see it more as cheating...

Irony. Congratulations on your promotion, though!

LOL Planescape was a separate setting for those who LIKE the weird. It was not the core. This is exactly my point. It's easier (and better) to add chocolate swirl to your vanilla. It's easier to sprinkle your cheese into the broth. Now, if you want your food without cheese all over it, you...

Hee hee :) I was just teasing ya bro. You're obviously a smart and creative guy. I have no doubt that you've done a good job putting together a strongly playable setting with the 4e offerings. I don't believe the support material contradicts what EGG was stating. To clarify (as I only posted a...

No thanks. I'll simply give you the win there. I'm sure it's an awesomely kewl world ;) The author of the game flatly disagrees with you. Excerpt from the 1st Edition Dungeon Master's Guide (p.21) by Gary Gygax Furthermore, from the same page and heading:

I was the author of the original Mos Eisley thread mentioned by the OP. Since the time I wrote it (days after the release of PHB2) I have realized one thing: a huge number of people don't care about playing in a cohesive, believable fantasy setting. That's totally fine. People enjoy D&D for...

There are a fair number of decent stores around the Cape. Game Night is one (not too far out along the Cape). Also, Battleground Games & Hobbies in Abington, MA - probably one of the best game stores around... I say this with a great deal of personal bias because that's the store I own :D

Resistor, you speak in FACTS. It is much easier to add exotic flavors to a soup than it is to remove them once they are mixed in.

Where are you planning to open your store? What State are you in?

If ultra-high fantasy, or even sci-fantasy is your cup of tea, then 4th edition is definitely the best choice for your game. These elements have been included as a part of the core, default setting. Influences from Azeroth (a very sci-fantasy setting) are incredibly obvious. Much of the...

I just threw up all over page 7 of the PHB2. It looks like a terrible space fantasy for little kids! The whole game store I was at tonight was laughing hysterically at it! THIS is Dungeons & Dragons? "It's a cold and rainy night. The village locals gather in the small tavern over mugs of ale...

To me, it is not so clear that AoOs are not considered "actions." I cannot find anywhere that confirms or denies this. The definition of attack of opportunity in the glossary of the PHB says: "A single extra melee attack per round that a combatant can make when an opponent within reach takes an...

All of the times I encountered Roger, I found him to be incredibly friendly and generous. He also has a great sense of humor and was gracious and patient with all of the many fans of his work who bombarded him with questions and comments. He is a super-nice guy who fought hard to be the voice...

Thanks T. Foster, that answered all my questions!

Just curious if anyone knows whatever happened to Roger E. Moore? He worked for WOTC back when it was TSR and was a big supporter of the World of Greyhawk back when it was getting no love whatsoever from the big boys (or big gal, as the case may be). He was also an editor for Dragon Magazine and...

I am extremely disappointed with the Expedition to the Ruins of Undermountain adventure. The maps are indeed horrible. The one on the lower right hand corner of page 31 (labeled Vanrackdoom) is lifted straight out of the 2nd Edition Tomes adventure titled "Axe of the Dwarvish Lords." Way to go...

Very sorry to hear about Empire Games. Hopefully they can pull through so another FLGS doesn't vanish. For those who live a little closer to Boston or the South Shore, I own Battleground Games & Hobbies in Abington, MA. It's right off of Rt 3, on the Weymouth/Abington line. We have a really...

This spell comes up many times, on many forums. It is clearly an unbalanced spell. This is not to say it isn't useful in someone's campaign, but it definitely isn't something you want to be frequently throwing around. I have pretty much disallowed it in most of my campaigns. Here are the big...
